My musical career begins

now, dad's kind of OK at the piano. i've been watching and listening quite patiently as you see. but in the end it was time to say "move over big guy ... maestro's coming through!"


so, time for the first movie moment at "i-blog-2u", the continuing adventures of Joel Alexander. i hope it works for you, this is my first musical performance. mom managed to catch it on video.

actually dad really thinks i should be an electric guitarist. i've been showing the right moves to be a cellist over the weeks, and did a fabulous job at conducting some rachmaninov in my early days. you never know i may surprise everyone by becoming a baseball pro and leave music altogether. (dad spluttered into his coffee ... no pressure son, you do anything you want, but baseball ... baseball? not the most exciting sport in the world eh son? think very carefully)

I just downloaded your video.

Joel, you have the same style as me! Vash heck out of the thing cos it just aint loud enough, right?#

See, I now play keys at church having been an electric guitarist for years - the trick is to get a fender rhodes, then you get to amp it up baby and everyone can hear you.

Look forward to your first solo album - I'm thinking you should do a concept album thing - a week in the life of an ex pat toddler.
